At Knights Court we had our own ‘Spooktacular’ Halloween party with the people living with us along with staff dressing up for the occasion.

We had deliciously spooky treats along with our afternoon tea and then enjoyed an afternoon of entertainment from a Shamanic Drummer with her spiritual drumming and singing of folk songs.

We celebrated Halloween at Knights Court by trying our hand at carving Pumpkins and here is the fruit of our efforts 🎃’

Buckingham House was filled with Halloween antics recently

Those living with us were kept extremely busy preparing and decorating the pumpkins for our Halloween celebrations and then enjoyed the delicious seasonal pumpkin soup prepared by our catering team.
 

A GOULISH time was had by all

Our lovely residents who live with us at Buckingham House were treated to an exciting trip to Fulmer Riding Therapy School. They were introduced to Freddie one of the horses at the school and were taught how to care for him.

After the excitement of meeting the horses, they were treated to a lovely afternoon tea during which the team at Fulmer chatted to everyone about the work they do with the horses at the school.

For this years Armistice Day everyone at Birch Heath Lodge participated in two minutes silence to pay respect for all those who served in the armed forces.

It was a touching moment to see everyone come together and show their admiration and support.

Personal experiences and memories were shared over a cup of tea.



"Less we forget"

Our lovely residents enjoyed our get fit exercise in the afternoon, this included full body exercises with Pom Poms. This activity was really enjoyed, one lady quoted “we needed this” after the exercises they enjoyed a nice cup of tea.

Today is Remembrance Day. Everyone in Amber Court take a moment of time to give honour and respect to all the people who have been part of World War. We’ve done this by taking time of silence, activities and artworks with the residents to commemorate our heroes.

Nigel Harmer, maintenance man at Abbey View, was very kind and proud to show us today his beautiful and very mindful medals. Remembrance Day- Lest We Forget

Today a group of residents made some dough sculptures. They added scents to them to engage the senses and added parts of leaves and plants to decorate them and to make a link to nature at a time of year when it’s not so easy to get outside.

Our lovely residents enjoyed bingo afternoon in the lounge, they enjoyed 3 games of bingo, we played for a line and then a full house on both games, everyone was really happy to be involved and was concentrating on the numbers so they didn't miss any, warm and cold drinks of their choice were served during bingo afternoon.
